10/10! Definitely recommend doing the virtual tasting tour with Tom, who did a wonderful job creating an immersive experience online. He is highly knowledgable and passionate when it comes to all things champagne and not to mention, he's easy on the eyes. Can't wait to do a tour with A la Francaise again in the future :)

This is my second time booking David for a tour in France. A group of 4 was picked up promptly by David and driven to a small town called Bayeux for lunch. The vehicle was clean and spacious. David's English is perfect and during the drive, he gave a great rundown of the day and was upfront that we were in control of stopping for drinks/bathroom breaks. David has a mastery of French history and all things related to DDay. We took the back roads rather than the highway to get a feel for what the soldiers encountered on those fateful days. All of stops (cemetery, Omaha Beach, Ponte de Hoc) were explained to us in detail and allowed us to enjoy the sites that much more. I would highly recommend this trip for the history and David's knowledge and the overall gravity of visiting these hallowed sites.

***DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE*** TERRIBLE customer service. Have contacted them before the Covid pandemic asking for a refund. Did not receive it. Then Covid hit - asked MANY times via email for a refund. This trip was for 4 adults - for a cost of 476Euros. There have been so many emails - and they keep saying that a refund is in the works. First they said immediately, then they said 6 months. I cannot recommend this tour operator due to this blatant disrespect of their customers. I need these funds back. I was out of work for more than 8 months - and this is really unacceptable.

We went september 2020 to the area of Champagne. It was an INCREDIBLE journey to never forget! #makememories Stéphane was our private tourguide for 3 days. He’s a very nice guy and could tell us everything about the area and about the process of making champagne. He also knows very good local restaurants. Stéphane arranged a perfect planning based on our wishes. That’s exactly why i loved him as our tourguide. I definitly recommend to book a tour at ‘tours in champagne’!

Attention to detail is the least I can say about Clément our travel planner and guide. I run a company specialized in tourism, so believe me when I say, I am a critic. The van was impeccably clean, sanitized prior to our departure from the Paris Montparnasse train station and throughout our transportation to different destinations. A little footstool prepared and I did not even have time to open the door, as our host did it before me. Clément played the French classics on our way to Normandy and the lyrics of Edith Piaf, Aznavour and Brel were in the seat pocket to sing along! As for the itinerary, our priority was to meet local producers and 'the' expert on WW2 D-Day history as well as Monet's Garden at Giverny. From cider houses, to farm producers who make cheese out of raw milk as well as calvados, the main spirit to go with camembert cheese! The choice of hotel was perfect in Bayeux, a charming town untouched by the bombings of the war. There we spent 3 nights where we could stroll to the morning market and visit the cathedral with it's intriguing crypt. We met a hat maker, lace and embroidery artisans all forgotten hand-made crafts revived by locals in Bayeux! A sensory experience was passing by Giverny. We were lucky as we were practically the only ones there, advantages of the pandemic. An autumn portrait where the sun was low and soft at dusk. Words cannot express the emotions brought by the colors and romantic solitude which must inspired Monet. Next trip with Clément will be Honfleur and Mont Saint-Michel. I can't wait!

Isabelle gave us a wonderful overview of the Champagne region around Ay and Hautvilliers. We did the half-day 3 hour tour. I learned a lot of interesting things which would be difficult to find out ourselves. As she is a very nice and cheerful person, it was also really fun. We did the tour in Corona times but everything went fine and we felt save. I absolutely recommend the tour if you want to explore the Champange region.
